Robert “Sully” Sullivan, 81, of S. Yarmouth passed away peacefully and unexpectedly on Tues. Nov. 22, 2022, surrounded by his loving family.

Sully was born and raised in Peabody, son of Daniel and Victoria Sullivan and worked as a foreman for Gloucester Eng. for 33 years.
He loved all sports, especially his cherished New England Patriots, along with the Red Sox, Bruins, and his favorite college teams Notre Dame and Boston College.

In Peabody he coached girls and women’s softball for 25 years with the recreation dept.

Following his retirement, he relocated to Cape Cod where he and his wife got involved with the golf community and enjoyed and loved all the friends he made on the Cape. He and his wife spent many winters in Florida where they made another group of friends and relationships that last to this day.

He is survived by his wife of 60 years Eleanor (Masino), his daughters Kelly Sullivan of Cape Cod, Lori and her husband Todd Baker of New Hampshire, his sister in law Ann Crane, a life long friend Marge Leonard, his devoted Patriot Pals Michael Perham and Jim Morsett, several nieces, nephews and cousins who were very dear to him. Last but not least his beloved granddog “Bailey” who he walked every day come rain or shine and all other animal friends.

A small service of family and friends will take place in Peabody at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, a donation in his memory can be made to a charity of your choice or any animal shelter or rescue league.
